Mom Answers

sex. my friend told me that it would work and when i was done being pregnant me an dmy husband had sex and the nexd day i was in labor and out cam the baby. i would have to say "works every time" even though i only had one baby. lol

They are not trying to make you suffer, they are trying to make sure baby is ok. I went in to be induced this morning and the nurses were really confused why I was being induced since I was only 38 wks and 3 days. Now it doesn't matter because I have a beautiful baby boy. Be patient, it will be worth it.

I agree with vferguson, if the baby is not ready to come out, self inducing will not work. I'm 39 weeks and have tried the red raspberry tea and walking and sex and spicy foods (although I think that only works if you're not already used to spicy foods) and nothing. Still only 1.5 cm dilated.

You can't, I have been measuring 3.5 weeks bigger since 34-35 weeks and now i'm 38 weeks and 2 days and am just not finally being induced on Thurs. I have multiple things and the reality of it is, is that you are not going to be able to induce labor.
